* AlternateUniverse: The works are based on the premise of an infinite multiverse of parallel universes or realities which differ with each other in many things. For example, one of the main places where the action in the comic book takes place is a 20th century world where Great Britain is still ruled by a puritan government and a descendant of Oliver Cromwell. In addition, New York is New Amsterdam and the other great powers are the empires of Russia and Germany. Based on rather scant mentions, "our" universe is apparently where Luther lived for some years around his teens to early twenties.

* SchizoTech: The year is noted in Issue 1 as 1984, though the main setting amidst an English Civil War and European Imperial Empires show tech in this parallel only at "our" First World War or inter-war levels, but with various incongruities.
